The National Development Council (NDC) is ramping up efforts to attract AI talent from the United States and India. New policies are also being introduced to appeal to digital nomads, making Taiwan a prime location for remote workers. In addition, the NDC, the Ministry of Education (MOE) and the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) launched a new program to nurture international talent in Taiwan. This initiative offers international students two years of training in Taiwan, with the option to work for an additional two to four years. This program aims to attract 25,000 students annually, with a particular focus on attracting students from ASEAN countries such as the Philippines, Malaysia, and Thailand.
In September, the Taiwan Next Foundation hosted the "Taiwan Tech Summit" in Silicon Valley, exploring strategies for attracting global talent.

To adapt to evolving industries and technologies, many companies are increasing their investments in ongoing training and encouraging internal job rotation to cultivate diverse skill sets among employees.
3. Establish Communication Channels
Regular satisfaction surveys help companies understand employee needs and adjust policies accordingly. Additionally, AI tools can quickly address inquiries, and significantly improve efficiency.
